Bridal Loft The Barn At Riverbend Kansas City Wedding Venue

TESTIMONIALS

  • We got married at the Barn at Riverbend this past month and It was the best decision we made for our wedding!! We really wanted an outdoor wedding that didn't have overwhelming "farm" vibes. This venue really hits the head on the nail. We didn't do any decorating outside of the florals because the natural setting was just so perfect. Everyone keeps remarking that our wedding truly looked like something out of a fairy tale. The wood tables and decor that the venue does already provide feels so authentic. I wouldn't change a thing about how the venue looks. Desiree and the owners were also so accommodating to all our ideas. They didn't blink an eye when we said we wanted to do something a little different and have karaoke instead of the typical dance party at our reception. They even offered our guests complimentary coffee service when the temperature dropped 40 degrees two days before and allowed us to switch our signature drink to a hot toddy. Our day of coordinator had never worked a wedding here before but was so incredibly impressed with how professional the owners and venue coordinator was. Everything could not have run more smoothly. Even though It was cold, everything was still so perfect. Please - RUN, don't walk to sign a contract here.

  • We couldn't have been happier with the Barn at Riverbend as our venue. The setting itself is absolutely STUNNING and it really speaks for itself. We knew we wouldn't need to worry about decorations because of all the natural greenery, string lights, and sound of running water in the background. It was the first venue my partner and I toured when we started planning, and I asked him while we were there if we should even bother looking anywhere else, because we had already fallen in love with it! But beyond that, Kris, Desiree, Jon (the DJ), and the entire staff there really went above and beyond in terms of answering our questions and making us feel relaxed and stress-free the day of. Everything ran so smoothly and we were in such good hands! Highly, highly recommend!!

  • We absolutely loved working with the Barn at Riverbend. The entire property is so beautiful, romantic, and intimate. We fell in love from our first tour. The owners and venue manager were wonderful to work with, always responding quickly to any questions and helping to make the entire wedding process easier. We ended up having to move our ceremony indoors because of rain, but the indoor space is just as magical as the outdoor space. After the rain cleared, our guests loved walking around the property whether they were taking a dance break by the fire pit or enjoying the twinkle lights at the ceremony and cocktail space. The venue includes so many amazing features like the bridal suite and man cave or the gorgeous wood tables. The Barn at Riverbend exceeded all of our expectations and we cannot recommend it enough!

  • The Barn at Riverbend was truly a dream for our wedding day! The venue is beautiful, small town feel, family owned and ran, and truly has the sweetest staff. They all truly want your day to go exactly how you want and will go to all costs! Desiree with The Barn was a TREMENDOUS help with all questions, concerns, and problem solving. She took our ideas and ran with them and truly put our dreams to reality! She was quick to answer at all times, and was easy to get ahold of! She was a joy to work with and has the sweetest soul. It was a great day and the venue will always hold a special place in my heart.

  • This was the first venue we went and toured and it had my heart from the beginning. I could not have imagined getting married anywhere else! Such a beautiful property and so many possibilities on what you can do to customize for what you are needing on your wedding day. We worked with Desiree throughout our year and a half engagement and she made everything so easy. Our guests could not stop telling us how amazing the Barn was and how lucky we were to have found it. Absolutely the venue of our dreams and it will always hold such a special place in my heart. Thanks so much for sharing your incredible space with us!
